Moradi’s military height dataset from Kenya is derived from military records from the headquarters of the Kenyan Armed Forces in Nairobi. It records 1,845 recruits with birth decades between 1890 and 1940, aged between 16 and 52. The dataset also includes the place of birth for each soldier, their religion and the years in which they were enlisted. The dataset includes some young soldiers with the potential to grow further. Further, selectivity must be considered when dealing with military data, as soldiers are usually taller than the rest of the population, on average. Moradi (2009) analysed these issues carefully and concluded that selectivity is much less of an issue for the cohorts recruited during WWII, when 20% of the wage labour force was part of the armed forces (whereas during peacetime, recruitment was limited and focused on the so-called “martial races”, i.e., native tribes with a greater reputation for combat, and otherwise low incomes). The original measurements were taken in British inches.
